Abstract

IGL is an Innovation idea to create a future library aims to save and preserve the world heritage in outsider place, either in Galaxy or Orbit. This concept was brainstormed due to military tensions in three regions worldwide—the Russia-Ukraine war, the Middle East conflict between Israel and Hamas, and the China-Taiwan dispute—fears of dragging to “III WORLD WAR” have intensified, posing a serious threat to human civilization and world heritage. The IGL could be uploaded into orbit or positioned in deep space, using advanced storage technologies. It would serve as a backup of human civilization, protecting our heritage from potential global catastrophes—whether caused by war, climate disasters, or unforeseen cosmic events. This repository would store philosophical works, historical documents, scientific discoveries, technological advancements, artistic masterpieces, linguistic records, architectural designs and other documents. Plus, a vast digital archive containing humanity's greatest achievements in science, art, literature, and culture. The main resources of this imagination will be: libraries; aggregators; depositories; publishers; national archives; social media and networks; internet archives; & UNESCO MOW.
